October will be a month of big sequels: Not just the classics “overwatch” and “Call of Duty” get new iterations after a long time, but also “Ghostbusters”“borderland” and “Resident Evil” will be continued.

Never again “FIFA” from EA

It will be the grand finale: In October, EA Sports will kick the officially licensed FIFA ball onto the field for the very last time. FIFA has ended the almost 30-year partnership with EA. The Canadians therefore promise full-bodiedly that they will deliver “the best ‘FIFA’ of all time” with the next and last part of the series. In it you will be able to play with women’s football club teams for the first time, but only from the English and French top leagues. The other innovations in “FIFA 23 ” read less revolutionary: New animations, improved impact and goal net physics as well as revised free kicks, corners and penalties should motivate owners of the previous versions to switch.

“FIFA 23” will be released on October 1st, 2022 for Windows PCs, Playstation and Xbox.

“Overwatch 2”

The e-sports classic “Overwatch” gets a successor after six years – and it says goodbye to the loot box system. Instead, “Overwatch 2” will require a subscription, such as that known from “Fortnite” or “Valorant”. The maximum number of players in multiplayer has also been reduced from six to five. Only one player per team can play the role of the tank, which should make the games more dynamic and faster. In addition, Blizzard announced two new heroes, new maps and the completely new game mode “Push”: At the beginning there is a robot in the middle of the map, which you have to escort to the base of the opposing team.

Overwatch 2 will be released in Early Access on October 4th, 2022. Overwatch owners will automatically receive the Early Access version of the successor.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2”

The “Call of Duty” series is also growing in October. In “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” there will be a third-person mode in addition to the well-known first-person perspective – one of several innovations that should make the game more attractive for casual gamers. The skill-based matchmaking should also enable a fairer search for opponents. According to developer Infinity Ward, the handling of the weapons and the AI ​​system have also been revised. Some movement features are also returning from earlier parts of the series: you can swim, climb and dive again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28th, 2022 for Windows, Playstation and Xbox.

“Victoria 3”

In the global strategy game “Victoria 3” by Paradox Interactive you build and manage your own empire. Unlike “Civilization” & Co., you don’t found it from scratch in ancient times, but start in 1836. There you choose an empire that actually existed at the time. The aim is to consolidate and expand one’s own power – and in case of doubt also with war, which is not the focus (and traditionally is not the great strength of Paradox strategy games). The decisive levers can be found in retail, in politics and in society. The local population has needs and wants to be cared for accordingly. Satisfying all social groups sufficiently is one of the central challenges of the game. In doing so, dependencies must be taken into account: Whoever invests in a strong education also influences the effectiveness and possibilities of the economy. High tariffs on imports, in turn, can make the state coffers ring, but also lead to revolts by workers who find life too expensive.

“Victoria 3” will be available exclusively for Windows from October 25th, 2022.
